This escape also looks like bullshit, but at least he's thinking about the knees:

Second - here is the danger of trying to do a grappling technique that's not based on leverage against somebody who significantly outweighs you. And pain compliance only works if they comply!

I think the smaller guy is in a bad position that'd he'd have to address immediately in order to escape or counter. The more and longer he struggles, the less likely it'll work (imo).
Marin Spivack (Moling) Interesting video. I would wonder how this approach is going to play out if the opponent (clincher) is significantly strong, bigger, heavier etc. In a sense, it appears as though you are able to move and basically pull your neck back into alignment because of (enough) strength. But what happens if the other guy's strength is dominant? Being as you are I don't know how often you have to face that weight/size difference. Being as I am I kind of remember.
Of course I might use some different approach, but maybe you were classifying those are "advanced", I don't know. This vid is good though. I am not making a critique either, just thinking.
William Miller Marin Spivack the question is good and it may appear this way, but I'm pulling my hips forward and getting under the force so to speak. I cant get my neck straight and yes wouldn't be unable to pull my head up.
I lower my center and then drive my hips forward towards my opponent. Many times it will uproot them as your coming up.
Even a smaller guy can stop your head from getting back in alignment so timing and getting hips in position is of most importance.
Yes there are different approaches. Context of sport or no gloves adds another mix to this as well.
This is a rather standard and even basic method.
